While driving on suspended TX license b/f got DWI in NM…?
Ok my b/fs TX license was suspended in 2004 for street racing. In Nov. of 2006 while living in NM he got arrested for a DWI. He has had to do all of the things NM requires him to do, like take a DWI Class, MADD, Probation for a year, ect. ect. Now that he is about to be able to reinstate his license he has found out that he needs to pay TX $200, which is fine, we figured that would happen anyway, but on top of that he has to pay TX another $3,000 – $1,000 a year. We found out that is a “surcharge” and he was suppose to start paying on it in July, but we had no idea. They sent the bill to his address on his old liscense, but why the hell would he have updated the liscense to have a New Mexico address if its a TX license?! I just dont think its fair that both states are punishing him, what should we do? Get a lawyer? Would a lawyer even be able to do anything? Thanks ahead of time!
Texas, and New Mexico are members of the Drivers License Agreement. The DLA require members to report tickets received by motorists to the state where they received a license to drive so as to receive points, and get an insurance hike. Also, when a state suspends the license of a driver who is from out-of-state, the state where the motorist received a license to drive will also suspend their license as well.
Edit. I actually gave you the short version. If you feel like reading, I’m providing you with the link.
